The Eternal battle

In villa number seven, Zhan Xieshen was sitting at a table in the garden drinking some wine.

Zhan Xieshen did not wear any clothes to hide his upper half and despite the dim lighting because Zhan Xieshen hate electricity, his gray complexion was prominent.

Next to the table were two crimson blades planted in the ground surrounded by a strange runic circle which is the only available source of light, after all Zhan Xieshen did not like to use electricity as the moon cannot be seen tonight.

Shi Tu rudely entered the garden as if it belongs to him and notice the blades of chaos in the ground.

Since the chains were not tied to Zhan Xieshen's arms, this was enough for Shi Tu to know his answer.

"Looks like you've made your decision Zhan Xieshen."

Zhan Xieshen gave Shi Tu no look and continued to focus on the wine glass in his hands as if it was more important than Shi Tu.

"So you know my name after all?"

Shi Tu did not ask for permission and sat at the table next to Zhan Xieshen and poured a glass of wine for himself without permission.

" what is this bad wine? Aren't you a soldier? It is assumed that wine and gambling is your specialty, unfortunate that there are no good ingredients here, but at least you should be able to make it taste a little better than this. This thing is an insult to the wine."

"Unfortunately I never got a chance to learn how to make wine or anything else, the only thing I know is war and killing."

There seemed to be some regret in Zhan Xieshen's voice, but there is no remedy for regret in this world.

"But there was a time when you lived in peace right? I heard you were hitting Atreus hard when he started torturing feral bears even after he killed them."

A complex look appeared on Zhan Xieshen's face and he seemed to remember the past.

"I think that the arrogance of gods affected men more, that child was violent during fighting since the age of five, although he usually seemed innocent. What is he doing now?"

"Unfortunately, he is no longer in this world. He died a long time ago at my hands."

As soon as these words left Shi Tu's mouth, Zhan Xieshen smashed the glass in his hand and staring at Shi Tu with fatal looks as if he want to tear him apart.

He even subconsciously reached out to pick up the blades of chaos but remembered he wasn't carrying them with him anymore.

Zhan Xieshen sighed sadly, the fatal looks disappeared, spitting out just two words with great difficulty

" Thank you "

"For what? I don't remember doing something good for you. I'm your offspring killer"

Even though Shi Tu knew the answer, he want to hear it from Zhan Xieshen's mouth because this is a bit amusing.

But to Shi Tu's disappointment, Zhan Xieshen remained silent and ignored Shi Tu, filled another glass of wine and seemed to treat Shi Tu like air.

"Do you really care about Atreus even though he tried to kill you and push you off the world cliff? All this when he was just a six-year-old kid."

"The son kills his father. This is very normal. Rather, this is what is supposed to happen from the moment his mother was killed. Also, if he kills me, does this not mean that he has surpassed me? There is no greater happiness than this for a father."

"Zhan Xieshen could not hide his pride in his voice because his son managed to take him down when he was a kid, but happiness mixed with disappointment because he had survived in the end, and this means that his son has not yet surpassed him."

"I don't really understand this way of thinking. Even machines can understand family emotions, so why I can't?"

This was almost the only topic that depressed Shi Tu every time it came up

Even in Shi Tu's life he never understood the concept of family, more precisely he never could sense belonging to any place, he did not understand what a real family is.

If they are just actions, then he knows them well, but he never feels any of the family feelings.

"By the way, what are those things in your residence? Those guns alone were annoying as flies. When I used the earth fury, I felt the presence of many machines underground that were able to suppress the earth fury. How could a pile of metal stop my attack?"

Zhan Xieshen was really confused about this, although he knew the power of modern machines, but compared to real power this is like throwing an egg on a rock.

"It is not surprising that you did not know, after your era, two worlds appeared, Arcadia world and Automaton world. These two worlds are distinguished by the fact that the most powerful person among them is only in the second step, but they can deal with transcendents by relying on machines."

Shi Tu seemed to understand Zhan Xieshen ignorance and this time did not mock him for his ignorance.

But for Zhan Xieshen, this was shocking news, he admits that machines can outperform weapons like swords and spears, but the strength of weapons depends on the strength of their owner, no matter how he thinks, it is impossible for the second step to defeat a transcendent under any conditions.

"Seriously? machines in my era were completely useless in the third heaven, but since they can deal with the transcendent, this means that they are at least in the twenty-third heaven. This is really impressive. I hope I have a chance to confront and experience this power."

Zhan Xieshen didn't notice, but an excited expression appeared on his face, and it seemed like time hadn't changed him and he still the fighting freak he was.

"The Thirty Heaven"

"Seriously? No wonder their methods can suppress me."

Zhan Xieshen was so excited that a fighting aura appeared around him as a red light appeared in his eyes which means that he is completely excited.

"Not exactly, being a demigod your body is very hard, but the force that you can apply is the strength of an ordinary person so with the amount of mana that you used, you hardly released a fraction of a trillion part of your strength, with the resources available here, it is impossible to make the original product what you saw earlier It was just a cheap imitation. "

"This does not change the fact that this is a huge achievement, after all I do not praise people very much."

This did not reduce Zhan Xieshen's evaluation of them but rather increased his desire to fight even more.

"Yes, nobody will believe this, the most terrible criminals in history talking and drinking on a night without moon or stars, after all who can stop the starlight?"

Zhan Xieshen did not seem to understand the depth of Shi Tu's words and spoke stupidly as if his patience had run out

"Well, enough from this, let continue our previous discussion, it seems that you think that this is not a desolate world in the first heaven? But I do not think so, everything is perfect even the moon and the stars, the laws are perfect and it is impossible to exceed a certain limit of force no matter what you do as if .. ..... ''

Zhan Xieshen, speaking of his thoughts, fell silent and his eyes widened in shock, as if he had realized something.

Shi Tu took a sip of the bad wine and continued

"As if the amount of energy in this world is predetermined."
